A handful of quotes

"You are full of pretty answers." ~William Shakespeare, As You Like It

"I am falser than vows made in wine." ~William Shakespeare, As You Like It

"'was' is not 'is'... the oath of a lover is no stronger than the word of a tapster, they are both the confirmer of false reckonings." ~William Shakespeare, As You Like It

"What dost thou know?"
"Too well..." the petty love that words do show. (William Shakespeare, Twelfth Night)

I know just how easy it is to spin beautiful words from the mind and off lovers' lips. It's like robotic painting--beautiful to the senses, but without any sort of depth at all.

Make Love to Me -- Writing Experiment #3

yet another day-long writing project. enjoy :)

WAYS OF MAKING LOVE: list them.

12:01pm
1 cup of chocolate, half with a raspberry filling for those days of sweetness, half dark for those days where you just need to cry
2 cups of fairy dust, because god knows you'll need a lot of that

1 dash of tequila, for those spontaneous days
5 oz. vintage wine, for those romantic nights

2 advils, to quell the fights
2 strawberries, for natural sweetness

Several handfuls of music notes, for every occasion, with enough staff lines to bind you together
A pinch of kisses and tears, just to taste

Shaken, not stirred.
You can't stir love.

12:18pm
Start with words. Words spoken on a summer evening with a caribbean breeze that drifts past that balcony, that lifts the salt spray off the water, that stirs hair and dresses and dreams.
Make love to me with words alone. words are my slaves, but they're also my weakness.
Make love to me with words. It's an art form. Just try. You'll be surprised.

9:05pm
Experiment with proximity, play with the differences between close contact and distance.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. and Absinthe makes everything fonder.

Make love... intoxicated
Make love... rough
Make love... sparkle like drugged effects
Make it loud and glittery and dramatic.
That's how you make love. But to live it is something entirely else.
